Perming solution contains thyoglycolate, if you purchase this in pure form
you then dilute it to about 1% and use it the same way as perming solution.
Just remember to dilute it in the fume cupboard as the smell is atrocious.

I've had a few questions regarding the perm solution. I knew I had read
something somewhere - p445 Sheehan! She says to remove silver stains from
your hands with perm solution, so I thought it should work on tissue as
well. It has been quite a while ago. I believe I used it full strengh and
kept water close by to swish and dip until it looked just right. j:>)

     To remove excess silver ,we dip the slides in 4% Chromic acid and rinse
in 1% sodium bisulfite, then check under the scope. If too light, start at
the silver step again.   Remember that generally a solution is first in the
process because it affects the remaining steps, either to enhance or remove!

I use a coplin jar of distilled water and I add two -three drops of clorox
and then dip the slides until the excess silver comes off. Rinse well in
water.
